Bicol International Airport — Legazpi, Philippines

Bicol International Airport carries the code DRP and replaced the older, flood-prone Legazpi Airport as the primary air gateway to the Bicol region on Luzon's southeastern peninsula. Built in Daraga, Albay, the new facility sits at a slightly higher elevation intended to reduce the flooding and typhoon damage that repeatedly disrupted its predecessor. Its most striking feature is unavoidable: the near-perfect cone of Mayon Volcano rises directly behind the runway, offering arriving passengers one of the most photogenic approach views in the Philippines. Tourism officials have promoted DRP as a way to boost visitor numbers to Bicol's volcano trekking routes, waterfalls, and Pacific coastline beaches, while also easing agricultural and passenger transport for a region historically underserved by air links. Domestic carriers connect the airport primarily to Manila, with occasional charter and seasonal routes supplementing the schedule.
